#idk it's fine I'm gonna go wash my hair since i cut it short again today (well my mom cut it. shout out to her lol)

[ikyw-t]

man i just keep having this totally irrational feeling that if i go and apply at the same job where i first met this boy almost 3 years ago exactly now that somehow it would magically turn back the clock and he'll show up for the first time again and i could spent less of the time before he moved away being unnecessarily anxious or such a wallflower about everything and that maybe i wouldn't be feeling so sad about it rn if i had just enjoyed those brief six months a little bit more while it was still happening

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY Y/N!!", everyone cheered as you blew out the candles. damn, i'm 18 now; you thought as you looked around the room with a smile on your face.

you were surrounded by everyone you loved and you couldn't have asked for a better birthday. after cutting the cake and spending some time with your friends, you decided it was time to go to bed.

after thanking everyone for coming and celebrating with you, you quickly made your way inside your room to wash up and go to sleep. as you stepped out of the shower, you caught a glimpse of your reflection on the mirror and noticed something different.

you stepped closer, holding your hair up in a makeshift ponytail as you analyzed the mark inked on the back of your neck.

woah, you thought as you took a better look. it was a very simple and delicate tattoo; a pair of wings under which 1406 was written. 

that's a strange one, you thought as you decided not to worry about your soulmate tattoo and went to bed, sleeping peacefully.

jungkook was not able to close his eyes for even a split second. he had gotten his tattoo/mark when he turned 18, which was a few years ago but today his tattoo started to get hotter, burning the soft skin of his neck. 

unable to tolerate the pain anymore, jungkook ran into the kitchen, grabbed an ice pack and placed it on the back of his neck, slowly soothing the burning sensation as he walked to namjoon's room.

"hyunggg" he whined out with unshed tears lining his eyes as he entered the room. "jungkookah, it's soo late.." namjoon mumbled out, slowly sitting up on his bed, rubbing his eyes to wake himself up, "what's wrong?"

"my tattoo… why does it hurt?!" he bursted out, still applying the ice to his neck. as he waited for namjoon's answer, his eyes widened as he started assuming the worst. "hyung, what if she's hurt? or if she got into an accident or if she's in the hospital and this is a signal or-"

 "yah jungkook, don't worry. i'm sure she is not hurt." namjoon reassured jungkook "your tattoo starts reacting or heating up when your soulmate finally get's their tattoo. it must have been her birthday today." 

"wait WHAT?!" jungkook said, as he started panicking. " you mean she is like 4 years younger than me?! hyung, that age gap is insane!" namjoon sighed, rubbing his forehead as he answered, "don't get soo worked up jungkook. some soulmates have a bigger age gap and they get along fine…" 

just as jungkook was going to ask another question, he caught namjoon yawning. realizing how late it must be, he decided to cut his visit short. " ah, hyung i'm soo sorry, you should go back to sleep. sorry for disturbing you, sleep well!" "okay, goodnight jungkookah. don't worry too much okay?" namjoon said as jungkook started walking out of the room. "okay hyung, goodnight" "goodnight kook"

"alright everyone, class dismissed." hearing your professor's words, you sighed and immediately got up from your seat, making your way home. you had a really bad day today; you got a really low grade on a test you had pulled an all-nighter for, the project you had to submit today went missing and you had a terrible headache. 

you took a deep breath and opened your front door, entering your empty apartment as you dropped your bag and dragged yourself in the kitchen to eat something. 

as you were cutting up a few vegetables to make dinner, you tried to forget about what a bad day it was by thinking about your soulmate. does he go to my university? how old is he? now seems like a nice time to meet him...

after you finished eating your dinner, you completed your homework and plopped down on your bed, staring blankly at the ceiling and thinking of only one thing before you fell asleep, wherever you are or whoever you are, soulmate; please find me soon. i need you.

ever since then, you made it a habit to talk to your soulmate every night. you had no idea if he could hear what you said but you still spoke to him. unbeknownst to you, he could hear your voice talking to him which only made his desire to find you increase.

14 June 2020

"ughhh, what's the time?" you groaned as you woke up from your slumber, stretching as you reached out to turn off your alarm. 

"SHIT! I'M GONNA BE SOO LATE!" you yelled out as you got a mini heart attack after checking the time. you quickly got ready, raced downstairs to grab your bag and ran out the door. 

as you were rushing to reach your university, you decided to make a short stop at starbucks so that you don't fall asleep during the lecture or starve yourself. 

the door bell chimed as you entered and made your way to the counter, ordering your usual as you took a look around the café. 

just as you were about to look away, you saw something that caught your eye. it was a tall man wearing an all black outfit with his back facing towards you. what intrigued you the most about him was that he had a familiar tattoo on his neck; it looked exactly like yours.

as soon as you got your order, you grabbed it and slowly made your way over to him. just as you were about to tap his shoulder and draw his attention, he turned around, causing you to slip and drop your drink on the floor as you lost your balance, almost falling down.

seeing what was happening, his eyes widened as he instinctively grabbed your arm to stop you from falling. once you stood properly, you looked down at your drink which was now spilt all over the floor as you felt your cheeks turn red from embarrassment. 

"ah, i'm soo sorry about that" you said as you bowed down and stood straight again, holding eye contact with him. you gasped as you saw his face. he was incredibly handsome but as soon as your eyes met his, you felt your tattoo warming up and a cold shiver run down your spine.

as you held the back of your neck to soothe the pain, you noticed that you weren't the only one experiencing it. infront of you, you saw jungkook holding his neck as well, his face contorting as he winced. you heard the bells chime again as your eyes widened with realization of what was happening. you found your soulmate.

shocked, you both stared at each other for a few minutes. "it's.. it's you, you're my soulmate.." he said, his voice shaking from surprise. "yeah… ooh, i should introduce myself… i'm L/N Y/N, and you are?" you said as you bowed again, flashing him a bright smile. 

"jeon jungkook, it's really nice to finally meet you. if i may ask, are you free tomorrow..?" he asked shyly as he scratched the back of his neck. you nodded as he beamed at your response, shoving his hand in his pocket and removing a piece of paper, handing it over to you. "call me if you'd like to go out tomorrow… maybe coffee?" 

"i'd love that." you smiled, feeling giddy and excited for the next day.
